Good for your skin

German researchers believe that the polyphenols in black, green, white, and oolong tea neutralize the free radical in skin that cause redness and flakiness. They also believe these compounds promote the formation of skin-plumping collagen. It is also believed by many that these same polyphenols reduce the risk factors for cardiovascular disease. Enjoy 2 - 8 oz glasses of iced tea daily this summer for a more youthful glow.

Sun Tea:

Place 4 to 6 tea bags per 2 quarts into a glass container. Fill with water and cap. Place outside in the direct sunlight for about 3 to 5 hours. Move the container if necessary to keep it in the direct sun. When the tea has reached its desired strength, remove from sun and put it in the refrigerator. Serve over ice with lemon and mint. This is best when outside temperatures reach 95 degrees.

Peach Tea

One of my favorite iced teas is a peach tea. Its sweet and refreshing. My favorite way to prepare is to flavor a traditional orange pekoe tea with peach rather than go with a pre-flavored tea.

Here is a simple syrup recipe to flavor your ice tea:

1 cup sugar
1 1/2 cups water
1 can peaches, cut into smaller pieces (approximately 12 oz)

Combine all ingredients into sauce pan. Bring to boil over medium heat. Cook until sugar is dissolved. Reduce to low and simmer 10 minutes. Stir occasionally. Remove from heat. Let stand 30 minutes. Pour through a fine mesh strainer to remove fruit pieces.

I like to serve with sliced peaches for that added flavor.

This works great with several tea flavors. Raspberry and Strawberry are 2 other favorites this tastes wonderful with.

Try Teaporia's teabags in Orange Pekoe, Raspberry, and Strawberry, or choose your favorite loose tea.
